Dear ccnpdad:

Greetings. I am sorry, but no, unless she agrees to amend the agreement you will not be able to change this. You may be able to change the amount of child support in court based on the other expenses not included in the support. Thank you.

I have been divorced for a little over a year. I currently pay child support and the health insurance plus half of uninsured medial bills for our son. My ex also had put in the seperation agreement for me to pay half of our son’s school clothes and half of any extracurricular activities ie…baseball etc. I apparantly missed those couple of statements in the agreement.During the seperation I did not obtain an attorney because she told me I wouldn’t have to. My question is: Is it possible to have the agreement changed to have the extra 2 items removed. I feel like the child support should cover those extra items.
Thanks[:)]
